My House of Horrors Chapter 142

Chapter 142
It did not sound that scary on paper, but upon closer inspection, it was quite creepy .
"The monster climbed on top of your little brother's shoulders, and it grew taller?" Chen Ge could not picture a 2 . 6-meter-tall person standing on top of a child's shoulders .
"That is what our little brother wrote . We even asked him to draw a picture, and he did . " Wang Hailong took out his phone . "This is the picture he drew from memory when we took him to the doctor last time . "
Chen Ge glanced at the phone; it was a weird picture . At the bottom of the picture, there was a fat and short child, he took up about a tenth of the paper . The other ninety percent was dominated by the weird thing on his shoulders .
"What is this?" Chen Ge looked at the thing on the child's shoulder . It looked like a woman with unruly hair, but the body looked male . Very skinny, like two bamboo poles covered with a white cloth .
"Can't you recognize it? I saw something similar in your Haunted House . There was a girl who stood on people's shoulders, and at the time, I was reminded of my little brother's story . " Wang Hailong took back his phone . He glanced at the Haunted House and residual fear pooled in his eyes . "Since you created this scenario, you have to have experienced something similar . Also, when the girl was stepping on my shoulders, it felt very real . If not for my sanity, I would have thought I'd run into a real ghost . "
"Our Haunted House utilizes the latest 4D technology and special techniques to stimulate the customer's five senses; that was why you felt something on your shoulders . " Chen Ge lied shamelessly . "The whole standing on the shoulders thing is just a coincidence . "

"Fine . " But Wang Hailong did not give up . "Then, can you tell me what it is that inspired you to create such a scene?"
This Wang Hailong was a stubborn fellow .
Chen Ge thought about it and said, "There are no ghosts in this world; those are all part of human imagination . I know that you are worried about your little brother, but I'm not even a doctor . Instead of asking me, why don't you consult a psychologist? In fact, I can recommend one . "
The park could close in another two months, so Chen Ge did not want to waste time on unimportant stuff . He was also doing this for Wang Hailong's brother's sake . After all, he had no official psychological training, so it would be better if this was handled by a professional .
"My dad has taken him to psychologists since he was young . In fact, there was a mental hospital beside our old house, and my little brother was admitted for a period of time, but the effect was lacking . " Wang Hailong hesitated .
"Brother, let me . " Wang Wenlong held his brother . "For some weird reason, our little brother has a weird aversion toward doctors . He screams and struggles or even turns violent when he is near people in a doctor's garb . Because of this, we have to notify the doctors beforehand whenever we visit a new doctor . "
"Aversion to doctors?" Chen Ge found the second anomaly about Wang Hailong's brother . "Could it be that the thing on your brother's shoulders is afraid of doctors? So it harms the boy whenever a doctor is near?"
"We do not know the actual reason . Before he was admitted to the hospital next door, he was fine, but after he was released from it, he started to get afraid of doctors," Wang Wenlong added . This was a secret they had shared for years .

"The sudden change must have a reason . " Chen Ge tried to help them by analyzing what he knew . "Could it be that something the doctor did during his treatment scarred him for life?"
"That's impossible . Shenglong was very young when he sought treatment at the hospital, so the family was at his side at all times . The doctors treated him well . "
"Since it's not the doctors, then perhaps it might have been the environment . Perhaps you can return to this old hospital, maybe you can find some clues there . " Chen Ge gave his suggestion and then turned to leave for lunch .
"The hospital closed down a long time ago . The third hospital building Shenglong stayed at is now completely sealed, so we cannot gain entry even if we want to . " Wang Hailong sighed . "I'm sorry to unload all this on you . Too many things happened today that reminded us of our little brother . "
"The third building?" Due to the black phone's mission, Chen Ge was very sensitive toward the word 'third' . "What is this hospital?"
"It was the hospital next to our old house . It was in the next district . We were poor back then, so we could only afford that place . After things got better, we transferred him to another hospital . "
"That's not what I meant . What is the name of this hospital?" Chen Ge's eyes that looked at Wang Hailong were rather scary .
"Jiujiang Third Psychological Convalescence Centre, commonly known as Third Centre . If I'm not mistaken, it has been abandoned for five or six years already . " Wang Hailong and his brother could not understand this change in Chen Ge .
"Is there a place called the Third Sick Hall at this center?" Chen Ge was lining up the dots in his mind .
"That's what you meant . Some referred to the third building my little brother once stayed in as the Third Sick Hall . They are the same place, just different names . "
"I understand . " Chen Ge took in a deep breath . "I know the best doctor in Jiujiang . If possible, can you bring me to meet your little brother tonight?"
Afraid that he might be rejected, Chen Ge immediately started to toot Doctor Gao's horn .
"No problem, but you have to be prepared, my little brother is… how shall I put this? Is not that normal looking . " Wang Hailong forced a smile . "If the doctor you mention is coming along, remind him to wear casually . "
Then, he pulled out a black name card from his pocket . On the front, it was written ' Long Hu Fang 1 ' .
"You are?" Looking at the uniquely-designed name card and the tattoos that covered their body, it finally dawned on Chen Ge .
Are these gang members? This was the first time Chen Ge had interacted with such individuals in his life .
Noticing the shock on Chen Ge's face, Wang Hailong whispered, "It is as you thought . Long Hu Fang's Szechuan Steamboat is owned by my family . The contact number is on the back of the card . "
Chen Ge flashed a bright smile as he accepted the card . "Do you have a more specific address?"
"Come to the old district's Hai Ming Apartments tonight . Shenglong and my father stay there . "
